"A picture can express a universal humanism, or simply reveal a delicate and poignant truth by exposing a slice of life that might otherwise pass unnoticed.” – Steve McCurry
His most famous image, the 1985 National Geographic cover “Afghan Girl” which was on the cover of the National Geography in 1985. the imagedoes draw you in, because of the colours but mainly because of the girls bright green eyes.
His career jump-started the day he crossed the Pakistan border into rebel-controlled Afghanistan just before the Russian invasion in 1979. The images he had gotten would be published around the world and were some of the first to show what was happening in that part of the world
Looking at Steve McCurry's photos I cant help but just star at them you can see that one of the main reason his photos draw the audience in is because of the colours that are in the photos but also because the portraits the eyes of the person just capture you doesn't matter what colour they are.
